Chapter 396: Chapter 394: The Secret of the Primordial Demon
“What should I call you, Jian or Welly?”
“Either is fine.”
“I’ll go with Welly since I’m used to it. Are you going back to the Dark Continent or to that other continent?”
“I won’t return to the Yunxi Continent. The identity I had there is already dead. I can’t return to the Dark Continent for the time being either. Taowu is dead, and the Divine Realm has sent a Divine Envoy who exposed their undercover operatives in the Asura Realm. It was just in time to weed them out.”
“You’d better not look into Taowu anymore,” Sally said as she moved Little Fengning out of the Insurance System.
Upon seeing Little Fengning, Welly first froze, then became so excited that he trembled all over, “Is, is he my son?”
“Mhm.” Sally nodded, Zi Qi had told her that Welly knew he had a child, and even asked Xiaoqi and the others for a photo. But since the child was a Primordial Demon, even though he knew about it, she had never planned on giving him to Welly.
Seeing Little Fengning with his eyes tightly closed, Welly immediately showed a sad expression, “How, how did he die?”
“Huh? Who said he’s dead?” Sally squeezed Little Fengning’s round little butt, “Sonny, wake up, cry for your daddy!”
“Wah–” Little Fengning was sleeping soundly when suddenly pinched and immediately cried out loud.
Welly immediately rushed over and snatched Little Fengning from her grasp, “Why are you hitting him?!”
It was a tone of unprecedented severity, and his eyes even reddened!
Sally looked at him a little dumbfounded, “When did I hit him?”
“He’s crying!” Welly seemed to finally realize, “He’s not dead?”
“He’s alive and well, my baby is well-nourished, white and plump, with wonderful talents. Who told you my young son was dead? I’ll smack their mouth,” she said indignantly.
“Host, that’s how you explained it to the Main System!” Xiaomei dripped in a comment leisurely.
Sally: […]
“He’s still alive, why wouldn’t you give him to me!” Welly recalled that all her offspring were raised by the Father Beast. Why not him?
Sally replied, “I thought you didn’t want him. He’s not a human cub.”
“He’s my cub, you should give him to me!”
“Why should I give him to you? I’ve endured the hard work of birthing and raising him. The previous nineteen children combined haven’t cost me as much heartache and money as he has. You just had your moment of pleasure and now you want to pick up a plump boy for free, that’s impossible!” Sally’s temper flared as well.
Welly looked at her, then suddenly holding his son, tore open space and ran away!
“Hey?” Sally was taken aback!
Didn’t he know she could summon her offspring?
Sally snorted softly but didn’t hurry to summon. According to Little Fengning’s feeding schedule, he’d soon be hungry.
She picked up the wooden washboard he had just knelt on, the edges where the knees had touched had smoothed out…
That must be cheating, using dark force to flatten the ridges.
Sally put away the damaged one and replaced it with a new, metallic washboard.
Then she took out a lazy chair from the System Space and lay down on it to rest comfortably.
Barely a moment after closing her eyes, Welly returned with the crying Little Fengning in his arms.
“He’s… hungry, how should I feed him?” Welly asked nervously, “Can he eat meat?”
“Sure, he’ll just vomit and get diarrhea, maybe even bleed, but he won’t die.”
“…” Listening to the child’s cries, Welly was anxious, “Do you have milk?”
“Don’t you know whether I have milk?” Sally looked at him with a teasing glance.
Welly blushed slightly, “I, I will kneel…” His eyes drifted to where the washboard was; it had been replaced with a new metallic one.
He immediately walked over and knelt down with the child in his arms.
It was only then that Sally leisurely rose, took a prepared bottle of warm milk, approached him, and bent down to feed it to Little Fengning.
Little Fengning immediately stopped crying, happily holding the milk bottle and began to drink voraciously, white and plump lotus root-like little legs kicking constantly.
Seeing his son happy, Welly breathed a sigh of relief.
“Can I keep him?” Welly asked in a soft pleading tone.
Sally looked at him, “Then you have to be prepared, this child is not a human cub.”
“He’s my cub,” Welly didn’t understand why Sally kept saying that Little Fengning was not a human cub.
“He’s from the Demon Clan,” Sally lifted his beautiful chin with her fingertips, gently caressing it, “A Primordial Demon! Have you heard of it?”
Welly’s pupils, stirred by her teasing gesture, suddenly contracted!
“Taowu wasn’t killed by anyone, nor can it be easily killed. That powerful Ancient Divine Beast sacrificed itself for Little Fengning!”
“The problem lies with me, I have Primordial Demon bloodline,” Welly replied.
Sally was startled, “You?”
Suddenly, she recalled he said his name was Jian.
A single character, wasn’t it just like Master Qing’s…
Sally blinked, looking at him, “How old are you?”
“I don’t know, I was originally in deep slumber in the Origin Realm. Ten thousand years ago, time reversed, an Ancient God fell, and when I awoke from my slumber, I found the world was no longer as I knew it, only the Asura Realm still held some familiar scents, so I settled there.”
“Seems quite old too,” Sally looked at his face, thinking back to Qing’s appearance, “Are all of your generation of Ancient Gods handsome men and beautiful women?”
“… There are actually very few in human form,” Welly responded.
“Oh.” Yet she managed to meet two, her luck was really defying the gods.
“Where is his Primordial Demon Heart?” Welly asked.
Since he was a Primordial Demon, the most important thing was the Primordial Demon Heart, which his son did not have on him.
“I dug it out for him,” Sally replied.
Welly suddenly emanated an icy, bone-chilling aura of horror, “You!”
But he quickly thought of something else, and his face once again showed a complex expression, “You gave him your heart!” n𝚘𝚟pub.𝚌o𝚖
“Yes, that’s why we have our round and chubby son now,” Sally said, watching Little Fengning finish one bottle of milk and handing him another.
The little one happily clutched the milk bottle, kicking his little legs even more vigorously.
Xiaomei now only gave him one bottle, afraid he would grow too fat, just like Xiaojiu.
But Sally loved chubby babies and would always feed him a bit more.
“And his Primordial Demon Heart?”
“I’ve hidden it away.”
“Give it to me.”
“No, I won’t give it to anyone! My son is doing great right now, and I’m very satisfied.”
“Even without the Primordial Demon Heart, there are still Primordial Demon Bones.”
“What?”
“Though the heart is the most important, other parts of the body, especially the Primordial Demon Bones, can also produce Devouring Power. If he doesn’t have the Primordial Demon Heart, and his Primordial Demon identity is discovered later, his Primordial Demon Bones will be at risk of being taken. And once someone possesses the Primordial Demon Bones, they can summon the Primordial Demon Heart, no matter where you’ve hidden it, it will be found.”
“That’s a thing!” Sally was shocked—why hadn’t her master told her?
“This is a secret of the Primordial Demons, but it might be recorded in some ancient divine texts, it’s not that secretive.”
“Mmm.” Perhaps her master didn’t know the secrets of the Primordial Demons. Or even if he originally did, now because he was only a remnant consciousness, with too many parts missing, he might not remember.
